Thread Name: Matty Groves - who's the 'baddy'?
Subject: RE: Matty Groves - who's the 'baddy'?
In the Planxty version ("Little Musgrave") the horn blower did it for love of Musgrave (Matty Groves). I'm not even going to venture what form that love took otherwise. Musgrave was one of Lord Barnard's knights and no doubt had more than a sporting chance when Barnard offered him the better sword.
